3. Jaqua's Restaurant. 81 Magnolia Lane, Beavercreek
   Dining out on Valentine's means you're taking your beloved to someplace special. And in Beavercreek, there's no place more special than Jaqua's Restaurant, an American bistro. Located in the popular shopping/dining/entertainment area known as the Greene, Jaqua's has a long tradition of upscale, quality dining. Start with inspired appetizers, like Fried Green Tomatoes or hearty Poutine; move on to Flabreads, Pizza, or Steaks and Chops, Seafood, or Chicken.
